Making the Best Gluten Free Pizza Dough is straightforward if you follow these specific steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir in the yeast and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt.
3. Combine Mixtures: Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Knead the dough gently for a minute or two until smooth.
5. Rest the Dough: Place the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rest for about 20 minutes to allow the yeast to work.
6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough rests.
7. Shape the Dough: Once rested, transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to stretch and shape it into a desired pizza form.
8. Pre-Bake: Place the shaped dough in the hot oven to pre-bake for 5-7 minutes. This step helps create a firmer crust.
9. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
10. Bake the Pizza: Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the toppings are bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

By adhering to these instructions, you’ll create a dough that’s not only gluten-free but also bursting with flavor and character.
